crossing my fingers that this time I am able to get a dell support dispatch for the correct location and actually be there too...
there should be a phone app to publish the contents of your junk electronics drawer locally for those in need...

writing code is my form of meditation sometimes...
rediscovering my stash of honey-ginger tea crystals and putting them to good use!
why does "Graceful Reboot" never actually work for me? Evar?
listening to Otis Redding always makes me think of dad...
first indications that I'm starting to feel better: my brain resumes thinking about code coherently again...

waiting for my mouse battery to recharge so that I can stop feeling foolish using the trackpad...
I hereby dub my internet connection "Evil Tigger"; it's bouncy bouncy, but no fun, and hell to play games on...
having a laptop well into it's second warranty doesn't bode well for the playing of new games coming out...
confirming that I have almost a year left on my laptop warranty! <3 Dell support contracts...
I think I just fried my laptop screen...
having another day that begins with construction...

hating on construction as a result of the sporadic hammering that I am forced to listen to...
large objects being pushed around, power tools, tejano... these are not supposed to be the noises of HOME for me, dammit!
just finished reading the latest book in the Wheel of Time series; now I need a new book!
making as much trouble for the lazy construction workers below me as I can...

working out details for a both a retweeting and autotweeting solution on Ivory Tower...
Okay, lesson learned from Ping.fm: use of tags is only evident when posting to Twitter and automatically removed from the rest...
testing out use of tags in crossposting via pingfm to see how well it works...
Ping.fm handled link translation and cross-posting just fine to Facebook, Linkedin, Blogger and MySpace; Plaxo, not so much...
I source all my status updates from my own site, Ivory Tower, where they get republished by Ping.fm. http://ping.fm/c5tVW
trying to work out an elegant link publishing system through the Ping.fm API...

Time Warner's new "trampoline" broadband: every five minutes, your connection bounces offline...
calling it an early night after catching a raging headache from listening to presentation composed almost entirely of the word "um"...
yes, I keep the temperature where it's at deliberately; welcome to the reptile house!

I need to stop browsing steampunk burlesque videos and get some work done...
I don't mind Johnny Cash most of the time, but 5am just isn't very good timing for it...

would go out for company and some atmosphere, but have this while "car-got-towed" bullshit to deal with first...
my Verizon bills are suddenly $30-50 lower than they have been now that the federal eye is on those shysters...
just found out my car was towed... from resident parking... where I'm a resident... much hilarity ensues... not.
end of the season 5 finale for Weeds is teh priceless!

every time a ferret backs themselves over the edge of a bed onto the floor, I hear "RING OUT!"
ok, Hulu, this commercial shit has killed your ability to compete; I watch shows online to AVOID the fucking commercials...
got a copy of my DBA so that I could open up a business bank account, only to find out that my drivers license is expired...
I should have gotten a popup alert of some kind when my drivers license expired three months ago...
